—⛥ ROCKSTAR ABBY'🎸

headcanons w/fem! reader

I'm writing a fic about it so stay tuned, these are just some ideas that popped up in my head.

cw: nsfw (smut), kinda enemies to ??, voyeur, fingering, female masturbation, phone sex, nude pics, possessive behavior (kinda toxic Abby lol), lesbian sex, p in v (strap on), degrading, edging, overstimulation, lots of teasing, rope bunny, gagging, senses depravation, ghosting. Let me know if I forgot something.

All right so for context, you and Abby do not get along very well since you both know each other, she always had been very stubborn and proud always thinking she's better than anyone (bc she is 🤭) and it got in her head mostly after she started her band. Your friends had always been supportive towards her since you were the only one with problems, they didn't mind much, always dealing and putting up with your attitude when she was mentioned or asked to go out with the group (which was a bit frequtently). Even if you both despised each other, more you than her, there was this oddly weird sexual tension between you two every time a word was exchanged. That's how I think she would be if somehow you managed to get closer to her.

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

(sfw)

⛧ I think she would be an extreme tease, always making jokes and playing around with you;

⛧ she'd put into effort to know your tastes, what you enjoy, favorite music (so she could learn and play), shows, moves, books, etc;

⛧ even if she jokes a lot with you and sometimes she can be a lil mean, she's the only one who can do it;

⛧ she would be a bit of an asshole with the people you go out/hook up with, since she's a bit jealous but would die first than admit it;

⛧ Abby would be overprotective towards you, any guy with a wrong mind and action be sure she would beat them to death without your knowledge;

⛧ she's a good listener, even if it doesn't look like she hears all your bullshit and puts up with it;

⛧ I think she would try to teach you a thing or two around the guitar, however, she would mock you a lot during it;

⛧ would always have you backstage or nearby during the shows;

⛧ asks your opinion (indirectly) on the songs and medleys;

⛧ probably made some demo music thinking about you;

⛧ would never say it but, she gets less nervous when you're around while she's on stage, when she can see you;

⛧ would treat you like a fan despite hour 'hate' towards her, is just her way to provoke you;

⛧ gives you one of the official band merchan before even start to sell it;

⛧ doesn't let any other band member be too close to you, they're her friends but she wants you all to herself;

⛧ she would be very troubled if you got lost around the shows so she always leave her guards keeping an eye on you;

⛧ she probably let you sign one of her guitars on a playful conversation you both had, she never took it off though;

⛧ gave you a necklace with one of her favorite guitar pick.

(nsfw)

⛧ okay so, she would be always dominant at least at the beginning, never submitting for you, sometimes she would get a bit weak if you topped;

⛧ this woman is a guitarrist so she's very skilled with her fingers;

⛧ she would edge you for hours after a show, or even before, inside the dressing room or in the van while heading back;

⛧ her hands would be always over you, gripping around your waist, hips, thighs, ass and even teasing around nearby your clothed core;

⛧ her favorite thing to do is to go down on you while you're reading some lyrics you helped her out with, or, some she made to you (the dirtiest shit she wrote) without your knowledge;

⛧ Abby would definitely finger fuck you while she's recording a song, making some of your moans be the background of it;

⛧ she has a shameless polaroid of you only in her jacket and laced panties, her fingers around the sides pulling a bit down revealing your hip bone, she keeps on her wallet;

⛧ she makes you ride her thigh as she write new lyrics or talks to her manager thru the phone;

⛧ boot humping while she plays the guitar;

⛧ she has those collars around your neck with spikes and a metal circle to hold onto, she enjoys pulling it randomly;

⛧ Abby is a bit too shameless sometimes, if there's another person around the studio she doesn't mind, she touches your pussy until you're begging for her to stop and even so, she'll mock you and ask why you're whining out of no where;

⛧ whenever she's away on tour, she makes you take pics of your body and send to her, most of them with her jacket on or t-shirt;

⛧ she enjoys phone sex a lot, putting you on line making you touch yourself while she's needy for you or even turn into a video call where she can watch you play with your pussy;

⛧ when she gets jealous she gets real jealous, fuckin' you so hard with her 8 inch strap you can see stars, she doesn't care much if you're crying or if it's hurting, she'll take you bent over her desk;

⛧ Abby enjoys gagging you with your own panties, sometimes underwear she buys for you and rips it off afterwards;

⛧ makes you gag and almost pass out on her strap she proudly calls it her own cock;

⛧ despite enjoying the strap, she much more prefer to use her mouth and fingers, the tongue piercing making you see stars when it rubs against your clit;

⛧ she goes totally off fuckin you for the first time, the tension was too much and you were just so pretty with those tight clothes she couldn't resist, even if she hated you so much;

⛧ Abby wouldn't speak with you after your first time, leading into a fight you picked up being stubborn and then, you being all spread out with your eyes covered and her fingers edging you for hours;

⛧ she likes to tie you up, how pretty you look with red ropes around your wrists, thighs, ankles, chest, everywhere she can put them, she just loves it. maybe it will even be a cover of one of her new albums;

⛧ you're not the only girl in her life, a rockstar like herself has a couple share of groupies and even if she's over possessive with you, the same behavior coming from someone she could only toy with makes her kind mad;

⛧ she loves watching you touching yourself, she always makes you do it but then slaps your hand off when she sees you're ready to cum, the way you back arch and toes curl, how you look so beautiful trying to reach spots only she can get, she gets so damn turned on;

⛧ while fuckin, she will call you the most degrading names, it's not a lie, after all you are her little slut and shameless harlot, the doll she enjoys to break and the bitch who swore she hates her sooo damn much.

Can I request headcannons with poly vbs reader who's like wonyoung from ive?

(Job and appearance wise)

hcs - vvbs w/a wonyoung-like reader

an: you bet your ass you can !! i saw wonyoung and did a little jump for joy (mentally)

tags: somewhat-feminine!reader, idol!reader, reader's a member of more more jump! or some adjacent j-pop group, ppl give idol!reader shit (much like wonyoung) but they handle it like the slayboss they are

🎀 okay first of all

🎧 bc you're wonyoung-like i have to clarify that yes, ppl on the internet criticize you for no fucking reason ! not cool but it izz what it izz

🍓 you don't let it bother you because you're just Better Than That (plus you're rich, loved, and confident, why should you?)

🎀 assume you're a very popular, well-liked member of mmj! and you've had a pretty large following from a past career as a soloist

🎧 i hc an and akito as big idol fans (akito would rather die than have you find out he used to be a die-hard fan of yours, posters and merch and all stashed in his closet), so they'd definitely support you at gigs and performances!! front row seats and banners babeyyyy

🍓 kohane doesn't really listen to idol music and toya... is toya. but they'd prefer to watch you dance/dance with you!! especially during the rare moments when your normally-PACKED schedule is empty for once !!

🎀 watch you three be stuck in the company practice rooms for hours on end (assuming akito and an join later/for less time since they're Busy doing Stuff . yeah)

🎧 now for specifics !!

🍓 akito defends you from antis online . user ynlover123? that's him [he has multiple side accounts on every social media you can think of]

🎀 every time a clip of you doing something random but Cutely (like wony's little happy dance and the video of her eating a strawberry) you get So Much shit for it. god forbid a girl (g/n) do anything

🎧 Haters be hating 😂

🍓 an is a full on fansite dude (idk why but she seems like a photographer to me. i haven't played through the vvbs story don't @ me)

🎀 fansign? concert in tokyo? popup event? coffee shop event? private performance? she's there with her big ahh camera and filters and light boxes

🎧 you think you look ridiculous in the pictures she takes but to Literally Everyone Else you look ethereal !! like that one relatively recent pic of wony at the airport - everyone (but you) goes wild bc. yeah

🍓 kohane and toya are there to comfort you and make sure you take care of yourself when things get rough

🎀 ik that sounds generic and bland as hell but HEAR ME OUT !!!

🎧 i hc kohane is like a walking heater!! she gives the best hugs that make you never wanna get up from bed (best lazy day partner fr)

🍓 toya isn't a good cook but he'd try to make snacks and your favorite food for you !! good thing you had to take acting classes bc ... he could've tried harder 🗿

🎀 thankfully he can at least cut fruit without losing a limb, so in classic asian mom fashion, he brings you plates of fruit when you're feeling down - he and kohane make sure you finish it all (and kohane sneaks some pieces while toya's not looking 😁)

🎧 (tbf she looks like a squirrel bc of how chubby her cheeks are - im not immune to the kohane rodent agenda)

🍓 all in all i feel like it'd be a really understanding relationship with poly!vvbs - they're dancers so they get how tiring it is, and especially with industry-induced worries, they'd be there to support you and make you feel loved no matter what!

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: The Boss Baby: Family Business

So would you believe me if I told you this movie is better than the first Boss Baby? I mean it's not... much better, but still, improvements were made here. Let's talk about them.

We jump foward to a now adult Tim, who has fallen out of touch with his brother Ted (the original Boss Baby) and struggles to connect with his daughter Tabitha. He soon discovers his baby Tina is on assignment from BabyCorp to stop a new villain intent on wiping out all parents. Tina gives both Ted and Tim a formula to make them both young again, recruiting their help on this mission and roping them into all sorts of Mischief ala the first movie but... like I said, marginally better.

So yeah, once again, very silly plot for a very silly movie. And yet... I don't know, it feels more... genuine than the first one did? Like it leans less on the obvious "oh look at funee baby in suit talking like a businessman" (though there is still plenty of that) and leans more on character interactions and I gotta respect that. Especially since it actually gives me a reason to care about Ted and Tim this time around, actually strengthening their bond and reflecting on how they weren't there for each other growing up like they promised they would be, and how they're given a second chance to change that now. Idk, just some pretty nice thematic stuff in there, along with Tim learning to be a better dad to his kids along the way (daddy issues in Dreamworks movies, they never stop, I Swear).

The characters here are... ok. Better than they were in the first movie, I mean fuck, the titual Boss Baby is toned down a lot and is honestly one of the least painful parts of this. Tim is also better, mostly bc he's actually an adult here so he's not your annoying kid stereotype like he was before. Tina is... kind of annoying, being the source of all of the "business baby" jokes and she grates on the nerves every now and then. Tabitha is ok though, getting some good development alongside Tim. Then we have our villain, Armstrong, who is... surprisingly funny? Like he isn't the funniest dreamworks baddie by any means, but he was certainly watchable. Hell, you could kind of say that for this movie as a whole, really.

The humor here is a little better, striking surprisingly a little more mature than last time (featuring an insane joke about agnostics like what the fuck Dreamworks I never would have thought you'd ever reference religion again after Prince of Egypt holy shit). The emotional beats also hit just a touch more, feeling a good degree less forced than the first movie's. And yet for everything this movie does well, I think its biggest problem is it drags on for far too long, just meandering with scenes that don't need to be anywhere near as long as they are, into a movie with a longer runtime than it probably should have had. It gets... tiring, after a while, and you get to the point where you just want the damn thing to end.

The animation here is really nothing special, basically looking identical to the first movie's, though I will say a few of the imagination sequences were sort of eye catching here. The music is also pretty simplistic but there were a few diagetic songs that I thought were... ok enough. Pretty unoffensive in that reguard, though of course, the pop songs just couldn't keep their nose out of this movie either.

Like I said, its far from being anything resembling good, but fuck, I watched Spirit Untamed last night and this was better than that and it was also better than the first movie, so that's gotta count for something. Even then though, it doesn't count for... that much.

Overall Rating: 4/10

Verdict: Pay tribute to the Greatest Dreamworks Character Ever: The Agnostic Kid

Previous Review (Spirit Untamed)

Next Review (The Bad Guys)

Headcanons for Gyu and Ume in Kimetsu Academy AU

kimetsu academy or modern world same thing

okay first of all, douma's gonna their step father, he's the one who save them? then this life he gonna save them by being their parent (let's pretend they're an orphan🤚)

gyutaro would have friends, ofc people mag considering him as ugly due to where they live and many things but in present time he definitely be one of the normal people, at least people gonna treated him as more human being

idk if his work as dept collector is a good or bad thing, but it's legal right? at first he'll live normally like a student, don't have to work for anything, but when he's in college he may find a legal part time job, since he want his history to be clean

I don't think he gonna do drug, he may interest in it at first bc of curiosity but he do smoke ig

ume is pretty and in kimetsu academy many boys send her their confessions, but what about girls

idk but she's not a type of pretty girl who like to hang out with boys, she like to hang out with girls, she's a mean girl (*cough* bc gyu and douma who like to spoiled her *cough*)😭 and gyu won't let a man be near his lovely sis too

many people have crush on ume but don't have confidence to give it to her by themselves so they gave it to gyu instead (how)

this happened too many times BUT there's also have someone who have crush on gyu and give him the love confession too (and that person it's me) but he misunderstood for ume and give it to her (she give it back to him later but gyu take it's as a prank)

gyu would work as delivery guy bc he know how to ride a bike🧍‍♀️ and when he send their parcel/food he don't have to take off his helmet so they can't see his face… 😔

I forgot this one, so douma adopted him and ume and douma remarried with kotoha and inosuke live with them too (this is my hc don't take it too serious)

sometimes tanjiro and zenitsu will come to play in their house, zen really likes ume but he scared of her brother and how mean she is

gyu don't like tanjiro, he always mean to him, but tanjiro never mad at him until gyu started to talk sh!t about nezuko to provoke tan😭🤚

gyu like emo punk/rock, ume and douma like j-pop and girl group, I also hc daki as sm gg stan (which I'll do hc about demons music taste later)

from what I mentioned above, why douma and ume like girl group, douma actually enjoy various genre, I can see him enjoying britney spears and lady gaga songs, or j-pop like gardinelia

for ume, it's kinda weird reasons, she likes pretty girls, gives off sm stan vibe and sapphic vibe… I can even named her bias in each group and yk, I'm sorry to assume but I saw many sone girls come out as sapphic and this really fits ume

a lot of scenarios like to write for ume to be jealous of reader if reader pretty than her, if in original story then ume would eat them but in modern world I don't think she gonna hate them because

1.ume very confident, she knows she's charming and don't have to worry about anything, people still gonna come back to her

2.ume didn't eat them bc she's jealous of pretty people and wanna get rid of them, if that's so, she would do it at first place

3.it's confirmed she hate ugly people, and don't even wanna eat to power up

ume wanna friends with pretty girls and she's kind of protective friend💪 she knows how to fight in verbally and physically (or just call gyu, magic word : onii-chan!!!)

she may have many friends, and her close friend group, but if any of them talk bad about her brother then boom, goodbye you're not my friend now and she don't even hesitate to do so

in original story, ume original hair color is white, gyu is black, but in modern world they both would have black hair but dyed it layer, ume dye it white and gyu dye it green and wears beret hat heheh❤️

this one is canon!! gyu want his sister to have better life, and when they arguing he said about his better life without her, I see it as gyu overprotective to his sister but NOT OBSESSIVE and don't make it to be in any gross or creepy way!

if he has a chance he definitely have a lover and live his life, not following his sister everywhere, but if ume have a lover then he gonna approve them first, she's innocent and nice girl, this is why he scared

Notes: this is all I can think of now, I may write for part 2 in the future or other kimetsu academy/modern au, I'm sorry if there's any grammatical issues, english is not my native language and I know I use to many 'like' 🥲

lmk if you have any opinion about them!!

a playlist for ty lee!!!! <3 <3

similar to mai's, the sound and genre was very important. while idk how many of the artists here would be classified as hyperpop, i was very much inspired by the idea of girly exaggerated pop music with a dark undercurrent. there weren't any songs that fit lyrically, but the vibes of scene queen's bimbocore eps are so ty lee.

1. bubblegum bitch - marina

got a figure like a doll / don't care if you think i'm dumb / i don't care at all

like i said - seemingly shallow girly pop with a dark/satirical side.

2. pink diamond - charli xcx

i'm a pink diamond, i need space

mostly just here for the aggressive & pink vibes, but it's about how charli felt trapped during the pandemic, wanted to go out and party but couldn't. ty lee, of course, also felt trapped, which is why she ran away to the -

3. circus - britney spears

all eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus

after growing up lost in the shuffle with all her sisters, ty lee wants to be a perforner who's the center of attention

4. starstrukk - 3OH!3 ft. katy perry

'cause i just set them up / set them up / to knock them down

ty lee manipulating all the boys in "the beach". there's a pretty sad edge to this song - this girl manipulates bc she doesn't know how to love. ty lee is also pretty disconnected from her feelings, especially when she's flirting with men but also just in general. she's willing to do azula's cold and cruel bidding, and do it with a smile.

(for the record, i started thinking about this song that way bc of marina's cover. not to be like 'acoustic covers are automatically deeper' but i probably wouldn't have given this song any thought without her version.)

5. one woman army - porcelain black

i'm on the battlefield like, oh my god / knocking soldiers down like house of cards / i'm a one-woman army

a pretty standard girl-power track that just happens to refer to knocking soldiers down and therefore fits ty lee. there is a dark side to this song, though - it's about being powerful and successful but it's one of only 3 songs by the artist, and she hasn't released anything since 2014.

6. flux - poppy

i'm just a possession / for your amusement, for your confusion

her relationship with azula. i think azula genuinely had feelings for her, but azula also does treat mai and ty lee as possessions, as tools and means to an end. and ty lee makes herself non-threatening and praises azula all the time, molding herself into the compliant subject she knows azula wants her to be.

7. girl of the year - allie x

tell me i'm the only one / i like your lies

ty lee is attention-seeking because of her upbringing lost in the shuffle - mai was right about that even though it was mean - but she is also savvy enough to realize that most of the time when she has people's attention it's because they're treating her as an object. the boys, the audience at the circus, azula.

8. mirrorball - taylor swift

i'm still on that trapeze / i'm still trying everything / to keep you looking at me

similar to previous. ty lee is a performer, who has backed herself into this box where she feels if she's not entertaining, molding herself to what people want, she'll be discarded.

9. cheerleader - st. vincent

i've played dumb when i knew better

video

about her decision to betray azula at the boiling rock, deciding she won't be azula's "cheerleader" anymore, will stop playing dumb. shoutout to comradekatara's albumgaang yet again.

10. fetch the bolt cutters - fiona apple

other people have already explained it better than i could.

Third time here hello again, miss me? (jk)

You did seem appreciative of my first batch of L/Mello headcanons so I guess I'll give you a few more because I'm such a great mutual like that (is this gaslighting)

- I firmly believe Mello is a smoker or at least a drinker. Based on this idea, I bet Mello would've tried to get L to drink/smoke at least ONE time. Long story short: L damn near dies (he is NOT suited for either of those) and Mello spends the whole night trying to compensate for nearly killing his bf

- In the car they ALWAYS argue over what radio station to pick (Mello is probably a metal or rock enjoyer. L either does not like music or he prefers classical. A part of me wants to say maybe he likes some pop songs sung by women or all girl bands. OOH WHAT ABOUT L AS A SPICE GIRLS FAN). So, they either take turns with the radio station each car ride, or they just end up not playing the radio cause they can't reach a conclusion (They're both stubborn as hell).

- Mello borrows L's clothes constantly. L will have just gotten out of..his washing machine? Or the shower.. (Mello probably found the washer thing odd and just started forcing L to suck it up and take real showers. L wasn't happy but Mello is persistent), and he sees that Mello is just shamelessly doing whatever wearing L's shirt (bonus if he just ditches the pants or..anything else underneath. I feel like it'll only be so long before I border on kinky headcanons). L is mostly tolerant of this, and depending on his mood, he'll either just skulk around nude or he'll try and coax Mello into giving his clothes back (this gave me really suggestive fic ideas).

OKAY I NEED TO END THIS HERE BEFORE THIS ASK IS TOO DAMN LONG SORRY

If you ever want more of these headcanons you know who to call (the brainrot IS REAL.)

Goodnight :).

OMFG I DID MISS YOU HOW DID YOU KNOW??? I literally mean this when I say that ANY TIME these pop into your head you know DAMN WELL whose inbox you better be in before the thought passes.

I think Mello probably smokes fancy cigars on occasion and you're definitely right in saying that L's not a smoker/drinker LOL at least not of anything more than fruity wine. <- thinking about drunk L is actually so funny. Mello's used to going shot-for-shot with Matt (who usually out-drinks him) and L's hunched over the toilet puking because he can't handle hard liquor. LOL. Mello would probably pretend to feel bad but secretly enjoy this very much.

TBH I definitely agree with you that I see L as liking classical/jazz music and I think it's DEFINITELY true that he enjoys cutie girl pop music <- he's a Misa-Misa fan, duh. But in my head this scenario is a big source of tension in their relationship even if neither of them realizes it, because Mello tends to defer to whatever L wants (in terms of stuff like music, food, etc., not everything but the more 'unimportant' things) and this isn't something that's super-suitable to Mello's headstrong/opinionated personality LOL. So he bites his tongue a lot/will just listen to whatever shit L wants to put on even if it's not what he wants to listen to -> L does not know of and/or appreciate his sacrifices (they are not sacrifices but Mello sees them that way) -> Mello harbors resentment. Etc. This can and must be rectified through nasty sex.

STOPPPP NOT THE WASHING MACHINE. L GOT BACK TO TASKFORCE ONE DAY AND THERE'S SMOKE BILLOWING FROM THE WINDOWS BECAUSE MELLO BLOWED THAT THING UPPPPP. I'm dead serious when I say that Obata was genuinely sick of us at that point and just like fuckkkk ittttttt let's see if they still want to fuck him after this (we did). BUT THAT THING DOES NOT EXIST. TO ME. Other than that this is so so so correct <- Mello is a serial clothes-stealer no matter what because none of his are comfortable, and he never wears pants at home bc otherwise he'd have permanent seam-indents down his legs. He definitelyyyyy steals L's (dirty) shirts because they smell like him also.

Hey btw ummm. Write that fic after you send me more of these. <3 I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU.

#L x Mello #YOU THINK YOU HAVE BRAINROT. IMAGINE HOW I FEEL.#*you can hear your phone ringing because i'm calling you btw*#MY LITTLE HEART CAN'T TAKE ITTTT THE MORPH AND OVERKEEHL POSTS AND NOW THESEEEEEEEEE IT'S LIKE. IT'S ALL WORTHWHILE.#this is literally so angelic like it's protecting my blog from ac!d hexes it's healing my kidneys.#<- it really is btw like the very night i saw morph's LMello post is the night i started to get better. coincidence? i think not.

I have this weird pit of anxiety when I think of golden coming out even though I've been waiting for it for so long. He's so great and I want other people to know he's great too. I felt similarly waiting for face (jimin is my bias) - like sick-to-my-stomach anxiousness. I think it's bc most people in my life still think kpop is this childish thing but they're so good and I hate that so many people won't give them the time of day. I do like that bts, and jungkook recently, have been forcing people to pay attention

Yeah, same. I mean, I think we feel differently, but I really relate to the anxiousness and wanting everyone to know how great BTS are.

I really, really want everyone to know how wonderful Jungkook is, but I'd be honestly embarrassed to show my coworkers Seven and 3D. I'd probably have to explain to them first that Jungkook is much better than these songs and a great singer who can write great music, etc. I really want Golden to be great, and I especially want the title track to be strong enough that I can proudly show it to people without feeling the need to add a disclaimer: "see past the fuck boy image". But that's me projecting what I feel onto others, since most people expect pop singers to talk about sex and romance and wouldn't bat an eyelash at Jungkook. But BTS were always different, and pop singers aren't greatly respected by many people, which is why I don't want people to see Jungkook that way...

I don't know what I'm saying. Thank for the ask!

a phantom of the opera AU (except not really)

so awhile back i was listening to my musicals playlist and All I Ask of You popped up. obviously, OBVIOUSLY, this is a jonmartin song to the core and I immediately messaged one of my irl friends about it and even tho i did this, the AU WOULDN'T LEAVE MY HEAD SO NOW YOU ALL HAVE TO SUFFER IT WITH ME.

Here goes!

firstly, there's no opera ghost bc this aint about him (and I have a soft spot in my heart for eric since i read the book back when i was a baby teen in high school). what we have instead is Elias as the owner of a prestigious opera house that also provides the most acclaimed music instruction. Grandmother Sims has no idea what to do with her newly orphaned grandson who is in constant need of stimulus and gets waspish and restless so easily. So she enrolls him in vocal lessons here, using Jon's inheritance. Her son and daughter in law had loved the opera. This was a way to keep her grandson occupied and honor her son's memory. Jon is six years old and the opera house is big with creepy dark corners full of spiders. He cries, quietly and hidden, every time his grandmother drops him off.

His vocal instructor Gertrude Robinson is as no-nonsense as his grandmother but she knows her stuff and Jon appreciates learning from her as he gets older. There are other students there, and Jon's self-aware enough to know he's not as good as some but still better than others. When he's eight, a new student joins them. His name is Martin Blackwood and he stutters and flusters and struggles to project his voice. Jon thinks he's kind of annoying up until a couple years later when shy, meek Martin stands up for him against Michael Crew who had taken to bullying him sometimes.

After watching Michael Crew run off, he turns to Martin who is standing firm and scowling, and tells him, "That's how you should be when you're singing."

"w-what?" martin stammers. Jon scowls and looks away.

"you have to sing like that. strong and no shaking."

"er, i-i think i'm just not...very good at singing." martin's face goes pink and he nervously tugs at his copper hair. jon shrugs stiffly.

"maybe, but i can help you get at least little better"

"oh! th-thank you."

They're fast friends after that.

As they enter their teen years, martin develops a crush and jon realizes he really wants to do a duet with him but the thought of it makes his heart pound and his hands tremble and he doesn't know why. he's done duets with others before.

The thought doesn't lead to anything, though, bc when jon is fifteen, his grandmother dies leaving him an orphan once again. They weren't wealthy and Jon's inheritance had quickly dwindled as it was invested in his music lessons. But isn't he lucky that Elias is so kind and generous as to take him in. He lets Jon stay in the opera house's dormitories; it's fine, he assures Jon, he can go once he's of age. And he can earn his keep by continuing his lessons and performing on stage.

Yes, Jon is so very lucky. And if the way Elias looks at him puts him on edge, it's probably all in his head. This is all fine.

Gertrude starts checking in on him more frequently. She is frank in her assessment. Jon has a good voice but he is not made for leading roles. Jon is quietly relieved. He's happy in chorus; there's less pressure and scrutiny. A small part of him is relieved, too, that Gertrude somehow always manages to make herself present when Elias visits him, though even he notices the malignant tension between the vocal instructor and the opera house owner.

Jon's seventeenth year is a bad one. Martin suddenly stops attending lessons. Gertrude won't tell him anything, saying that if Martin wanted him to know, he'd talk to him about it. Jon has no way of contacting him and he lacks the money needed to go looking for him. When he asks Elias for help (heart pounding, scared of him even though he has never done anything to him bc something about the way he watches Jon sets off his instinct to flee), the man scoffs and tells him not to waste his energy on a talentless hack like that Blackwood boy who was going nowhere in life anyway. Jon's fury overcomes his fear and he snaps at Elias, saying that Martin was still more skilled than he was and that he had to settle for owning an opera house since he couldn't be on stage.

This is the first time Elias locks him in his quarters as punishment. The punishment lasts nearly two weeks and ends only after Gertrude and Elias have a row that sets the opera house's gossip mill turning. It's too late by then, though, Jon had no hope of tracking down his friend now.

A few months later, Gertrude Robinson disappears mysteriously and Elias takes over Jon's lessons. He tells Jon not to worry; he's a better instructor than Gertrude and will help him reach is full potential. Jon will land leading roles in no time. Jon smiles shakily and thanks him as a cold, anxious dread settles in his stomach.

Martin is nearly thirty when his luck finally turns. He dropped his music lessons at 17 when his mother fell ill and his father abandoned them. Martin took on any work he could find because of course his father hadn't left them a penny. Martin grew from his awkward teenage body into a large man with hands roughened by hard labor. He ended up working at the docks, where big strong men were always needed to haul cargo. It's there that he meets Peter Lukas who ends up taking a shine to him and hires him to be his personal attendant. The Lukas family was very wealthy and Peter made sure Martin learned what he needed to in order to not embarrass himself or Peter in those social circles.

Peter was also a recluse and eccentric to boot. When he passed away, he left most of his wealth with Martin. He had no direct heirs and apparently did not care much for any of his nephews. The family kicked up a fuss but the late Peter's lawyers did their job well and Martin suddenly was independently wealthy.

With all this new money, Martin decides to become a patron of the arts. He carried fond memories of the opera house and the childhood crush he had in those years. His generosity ends up funding the majority of the opera house's renovations. As thanks, he gets invited to attend the performance celebrating the grand re-opening. Everyone assured him that it would be a night to remember because the jewel of the opera house himself would be performing the leading role.

The air leaves his lungs when he sees Jon step onto the stage. It's the first time he's seen him in well over a decade; he'd half thought that he'd imagined how gorgeous he was but no, it was not an overactive imagination. And then Jon starts to sing and Martin is afraid he'll never be able to breathe again. The sheer passion in Jon's voice; the way he becomes the role he plays; it's astounding. And Martin's not the only one who thinks so, if the way the audience erupts in tearful applause after the solo ends is anything to go by.

After the show, when Jon is told that the opera house's newest wealthy patron wanted to see him, he did not expect to see his childhood crush.

"Martin?" Jon says nearly breathless in surprise. He stares unabashedly, taking in all the changes in the boy he once held dear.

"Jon! Hello," Martin says nervously. "Er, you sounded lovely. On stage. Even better than I remembered."

"Oh," Jon flusters at the thought of Martin remembering him, thinking of him at all in the intervening years. "Th-thank you."

So the two catch up. They get to know each other all over again, and Jon laughs more in that time than he has since he was a teenager. Martin takes pleasure in Jon's company, heart full and warm at his friend's joys and successes. But he can't help notice how he dims whenever Elias is mentioned. He sees how skittish and quiet Jon gets whenever Elias is in the same room as them. Something in his stomach twists whenever Jon shies away from Elias' touch. He can't help but notice how Elias is constantly invading Jon's space, and taking every opportunity to lay hands on him. Martin hates how Jon is made small whenever Elias is near.

At some point, Jon confesses that he never wanted to be a star performer, but he didn't have a choice since he owed Elias and the opera house so much. He was, essentially, an indentured servant. All Jon really wanted was a place to call home and warm companionship (at this Jon had flushed prettily, gaze darting to Martin and away).

"And perhaps," Jon says with a self-deprecating smile, "become a bookshop owner. At first I thought I'd make a library since I've always had a fondness for books. However, once I've read them they are no longer able keep my attention. So a bookshop would be better, I think."

Martin takes his hand tells him fervently, "Jon, you deserve all the good the world has to offer and more." He drops a gentle kiss to Jon's knuckles. "Would you allow me the privilege of joining you in your bookshop? To...to be your companion?"

Jon, of course, says yes. It's a nice dream. He lets Martin promise him a lovely future, even if he can't bring himself to believe it would ever happen. He forgets that Martin is a stubborn man with a delightfully petty streak when he believes someone has been wronged.

Martin investigates and discovers that Elias has been cheating Jon out of his earnings. He knows that Elias would not let go of Jon willingly, but he also knows that Elias is deeply invested in maintaining appearances. He arranges a very public and overly fancy affair: a dinner and a masquerade, to be held at the opera house.

It's here, in front of half of Paris, that Martin plays role of entitled wealthy man and offers twice the amount requested for Jon's contracted services. Elias, with everyone's eyes on him, is forced to graciously agree. Jon can hardly believe it. It's not until a month after Martin whisks him away, while they look at an empty shop in the Scottish Highlands, that it hits Jon that he's finally free.

He does get to finally have a duet with Martin. They sing together as they clean and prepare the bookshop for its grand opening. There's no audience. No stage lights. It's just him and Martin, pouring out their love for one another.

Patiently awaiting Good Omens S3

SPOILERS FOR S1 and S2

I happily await season 3, but my knowledge of the past seasons kinda fading a little because it's been three months since I saw them.

What i remember:

S1: I guess Adam and the kids aren't traumatized and living their best lives and they have a new not-a-witch adult friend who gave them candy and her boyfriend I don't care about. Aziraphale and Crowley got kidnapped at the end but 'twas a TWIST these geniuses came up with. Did Hastur die? I think Hastur died. Hopefully Warlock and his family didn't get stranded in the desert, but what becomes of him now? Do they just say 'well that was a really weird thing, but ok whatever'? And Adam still has godly powers, but we're just not going to train them or anything?

S2: Aziraphale wanted Crowley to go to heaven with him for some asinine reason forgetting the whole 'I got a thermos of insta kill in case I need it because I got tortured for saving a person' plus the whole reason he's a demon is because he questioned Plans. Metatron maybe influencing and don't think I forgot him calling Muriel 'the dim one' plus pretty sure the music said 'ominous', but I already didn't trust Metatron. Beelzebub and Gabriel faded away to live their best lives in the cosmos even though Gabriel at least deserves a slap for telling Aziraphale to die. Yes, it's not enough that he actually almost tossed himself out the window. Then that kiss. THAT kiss. The one Crowley poured out his emotions into.

Everyone else is better at analysis and theories than I and a lot probably, most likely, definitely went over my head tbh.

Who would be cool to see s3- Obviously our main duo and the complete fallout of the kiss and leave that happened. God, maybe? Was God even in s2 in present day? See, I don't remember. Nina and Maggie. Inspector Constable Muriel. The new 'bosses' of Heaven and Hell. Satan because he popped up all angry, Adam said 'ur not my dad' and he faded away but was most likely not dead bc a kid shouted at him. I wouldn't mind Adam and his friends maybe as a cameo seeing how they're doing. I'm indifferent to Anathema, she's not wildly cool to me, but not boring. Not me forgetting the whole reason Aziraphale went to Heaven is because he's the next archangel.........

Who I don't care for: Newt and Shadwell. I-I don't know how to precisely explain and maybe I'm the outlier, but I just do not care for them. I was slightly amused by Newt's ability to create power outages, but then I lost interest when he came across Shadwell. Not saying Neil or anyone wrote them bad at all and nothing against the actors, I just found them incredibly uninteresting. That being said, if for any reason they're written back into the script, I will not go on a tumblr rant...i've already done a tumblr rant and I'm a little scared of Neil Gaiman's powers...he has powers, right? Pretty sure he does.

Anyway, no matter what I am excited for season 3!

so, a random high school memory just popped into my head, and also not so randomly popped into my head from going through my 'relationships I guess' tag.

anyway, I've probs talked before about how anal the catholic school that I went to for high school between 2008 and 2011 (years 7-10) was about the whole "duty of care" thing- especially when it came to formal/prom season in year 10 (2011 for me) and year 12 (2013 for me). so imagine you're one of the 'popular' or 'hot' girls in your year group, and you've got your hot boyfriend whose 21 (yikes in hindsight), that you want to bring to your year 10 formal. the school says no bc of "duty of care"- so then you have to pair up with one of the boys in your year that you don't like in that way- just for the sake of having a formal date/partner.

say you're now in year 12 and you're still one of the popular girls- albeit one of the ones that everyone hates. you want to take your boyfie who graduated the year prior (2012), who is from the same school. however, that also rules him out as a date to your year 12 formal, despite him being only a year older and a previous student of the school. so again, you must take one of your guy friends from your year group to the formal with you.

compare this to the public school that I transferred to for years 11 and 12 (2012-2013). one of my close friends took her 21 year old boyfriend to our year 12 formal. like obvs there's not much you can do, considering nearly all of us (bar people who were late November and December birthdays) were 18, so maybe the teachers at that school felt like they didn't have much of a say of who people brought as their dates to the formal. also two boys from the catholic school actually turned up to this school's formal too.

but it was the distinct form of freedom to me, that the school didn't seem to give a flying fuck about what you did or who your brought along to this event. whereas the catholic school enjoyed sticking their noses into EVERYONES business telling you who you can and can't take to your formals/proms- even if they were former students of the school the previous year- or even current students in the year below you. it's a date from your year or NOTHING- and woe is you if you have the sheer audacity to go alone to the event. what a shame.

but in the case of the girl who in year 10 in 2011 that kept campaigning for her 21 year old DJ (house party dj) boyfriend to not only be the DJ for our formal (he has better music than the DJ the school uses for our socials (school dances)), but also to be her date... like paula. that 21yo grown ass man does NOT love you. you are 15/16. what on earth does this 21yo scumbag douchebag dude have in common with you??? why is he pushing you to take him, as your date, to your HIGH SCHOOL formal??? please don't bring him and stop begging to have him as the DJ.... when it's not the music that he's really there for. it's the access to girls your age.... when he's fuckin 21 and should be nowhere near a teen girl's year 10 formal/junior prom (not counting family tagging along to the photos portion of the event).

because I can see now that the catholic school, to some extent, did care about safety when the 21yo boyfriend wanting to be a formal date thing came into play. because I remember when I turned 21 in 2016, when the 16-18yo year 10 to year 12 students from the nearby high schools would come to my home uni's campus for lunch and decent coffee during their free periods or lunch breaks. i remember thinking "christ they're so young" and stuff like that. whenever I heard them talking amongst each other about their HSCs (end of high school exams) and ATARs (uni entrance marks), I always thought to myself, "god. I remember when that shit actually mattered.... and it doesn't now lmao bc I'm here". and "they really are just kids."

then when I did a couple of first year electives the next year, 2017, and I talked to the 18yos in those classes..... I realised how much I'd grown and stuff in the 4 years since high school had finished for me. and it was esp stark when all those kids kept telling me to turn in my work from high school.... all because that's what they were doing to save time, and they were apparently "getting high distinctions" bc their work was just "so good and intelligently written" or whatever bullshit they told me. so when I told them that, "hey. uh I can't really do that because I've grown so much since late high school that my writing voice is quite different and matured... and I don't think I could make my work NOT sound like it was written by 16 to 18 year old me." to which they'd always respond to me with "well that just means you're NOT a talented enough writer like me. why are you even in an arts degree if you can't make your work sound as good and as smart as mine???" like good luck, dana and jack, when your high school bs work starts running out..... and you realise halfway through uni that you're not as talented as you think you are.... and that your professors were just being nice to you in your first semesters. your teenage hubris will come crashing down soon. trust me.

but my point is that my growth between my late teen years and my early 20s was pretty big. I remember thinking that even the 17/18yos I was with in those 2017 first year electives with were practically still kids. but obvs being 18 and having moved interstate (some of the first years) makes them, to themselves, more mature and worldly than me, who is just a lowly local student vs becca who moved 10 hours away from her family to attend my local uni.

but my point is, to my younger followers, if i have any.... is that your high school has a point with duty of care rules, to not let you take your partner, esp if they're in their early 20s and you're 16-18 for your junior or senior prom. like yes it may be an absolute pain that you have to take laikynn, who is a dumb rudeass jock or the weird kid teddy or yknow- shock, horror you dare to go alone- bc fuck "needing a date" to these things.

but your early 20s partner is at a different stage of life to you- and defs should not be cruising around a year 10 formal/junior prom venue trying to idek "keep an eye on you" or whatever the stupid excuse is about wanting to go with you- let alone date you in the first place. bc never once, in my early 20s, did I want to date a 16-18yo. even if yes, there was only 4 years of age difference between me and the new 18yo uni students in 2017. but that 4 years meant that I was almost graduating, meant that I'd been to business college (this was a rip-off to get me into uni tbh) and had significant other stuff going on that made me grow, instead of y'know, just stagnating and staying in a teenagers mindset.

it meant that I was contemplating my future a bit... where would I go with my english/philosophy degree??? while the new students were still riding the highs of getting their desired ATARs or getting into uni through early entry. probs still thinking nice fluffy thoughts that an arts degree will make them a millionaire and get them hired instantly. when in reality, no one wants to hire you and will instantly pigeon-hole you into a teaching role.... despite your complete disinterest in the job field... and you personally knowing that it's NOT a fit for you.... but i digress.

so yeah. I now realise that the catholic school actually had a point with being hella anal about duty of care when it came to my formals/proms. so to any younger users on here: if some early 20 something person wants to date you, and wants you to take them to your high school event, really question their motives and why on earth they'd really want to go to your year 10 formal/junior prom or even senior events, with you.

you're 15/16 for junior prom/Y10F. take jake from science class or carina from english class. or go alone with your friends, bc you won't die if you don't have a partner for these events.... despite what that society says. or whatever weird bs an older partner could spit out to try to go with you. same goes for senior prom. go with someone your own age, not your 23yo partner who shouldn't be dating a teenager - like bro (gender neutral) knows what rent is and how to pay it. bro knows how to pay interest on a car loan. dump their ass. hell go with a person in the year below you, like i could've done for my year 12 formal. just don't invite some 20 something year old to a high school event it's weird af.... and your school has a point in regards to safety.

i think most twitter armies are just so used to their faves being praised and being untouchable??? because for four years they were. but now other groups are coming in and breaking records and at first they just would shit on these other groups but now bts isn't gonna be doing anything ot7 until at least 2025 (and that's a tentative estimate) so now they're bored and are looking for new faves to be weird about. the problem is that no other kpop fandom is as crazy as bts stans because we learned how to be humble and NORMAL and they just. cannot do that for some reason??? which is so funny because they'll start preaching about skz while last week they were calling them ugly dogs and bts-wannabes... like girly???

pick your poison, i guess. bts fans move the same way exols did a decade ago, just upping the ante and nonsensical behaviour to a toxic and dangerous degree. bts have never been the underdogs, not even when they started. they won several awards right out of the gate bc the music was good and was very much state of the art back then. bighit was just supremely underfunded as a small label, which made it tougher to get sales / streams (well, sales more back then) bc they couldn't afford a lot of promo. most of the monetary gain went straight into making bts happen, the company basically either was in the red or barely managed a black 0. i hate to say that bts was better when they had something to work for, bc no one should depend on their life-hood to such egregious extent they have to watch their back every time while doing what they love. but it does say something that the quality and sincerity of bts' music has declined in the past few years especially. like. i'd rather they write me bragging rap songs over their success than these hypocritical diss tracks or americanised feel-good pop.

bts fans becoming skz fans is the least surprising thing ever, same with them becoming ateez fans too despite ripping on both. but svt has ben the big enemy for years now, so it really feels a whole new level of hypocrisy has been unlocked there. fandom spaces have been toxic since the dawn of time, even within one fandom, but the way a lot of kpop and online fandom (like the pop divas or even for tv shows) has moved the needle closer to how army as a fandom space operates. i remember when i had people calling me a bad fan for not caring about shinee's sells during their last comeback when like ... i could not care less about that and i know tons of people who don't. to see army actively move into new fandom spaces and pull them into this direction annoys me, is bad for online spaces and communication as well as concert etiquette, and means more groups will drop mediocre shit. which, well, the last part is just me being annoyed untalented people are bankrolled to release music solely bc their faces are objectively nice.

#ask #deyjahboo #i don't have much to say about skz idc about them one bit but they have gotten lashings from armies that are over the top too #as any big bg group or blackpink / twice. that fandom really knows how to pick em lmao. very transparent.

I'm going to say things bc that's how I cope.

As a person who thinks that if you're going to do something you should do it right, I can't help it, it bothered me how sloppy this season felt. Of course I fully blame HBO and their cheapness, but it stills bothers me. Not only we got two episodes less than s1, but the 8 we got were shorter, and you can tell. I also blame the budget cuts for the constant yet unnecessary flashbacks, and the weird editing, and the anticlimatic pace. In any case, I want to highlight the things I did like, because I fucking love this show and Im sure that after a rewatch or two I'll be less angry, so let's stay positive:

Since it seems they were having trouble to get the complete cast together in one plot, I do love they kinda let them have their spotlight one by one. Like, Frenchie in the first episodes, Wee John as Calypso, Lucius with his PTSD in ep5... It's not the same as s1, but it's something.

I've seen people complaining about this, but Im happy they didnt invest too much time on the forgiving process. I like it better when everyone gets along fine, and in the end they're pirates and they never seemed to be the kind of people who hold grudges, so yeah lets skip to the nice part.

I did like a lot what they did with Izzy. I don't care if it happened too quick or what, I used to feel indiference towards him and this season I actually enjoy his scenes a lot. I still dont know how I feel about his death tho. It bothered me a little that the whole scene was more about Ed than Izzy himself, but in the end I always saw Izzy as a narrative tool in Ed's arc more than as a character of his own, so I guess it makes sense.

Super happy with the music choices, and also the new outfits.

Really, the first five episodes were absolutely brilliant.

It made me so happy they got Bronson Pinchot as Ned Low.

Huge fan of Zheng Yi Sao and Auntie.

Im so fucking furious at Taika Waititi for his pro-Israel shit that seeing Pop Pop attacking him gave me some sort of inner peace.

Now, things I wished had been done differently: - There were a lot of paralelisms with s1, which is good, but I'd like they brought back more actual elements of s1 into play. Like, the lighthouse painting, the secret wardrobe, the pink robe, a third Badmington (he would have work better as big bad than this prince ricky guy I dont really care about?). Frenchie singing again. This oneis a reach, but I would love to have Mary Bonnet back. And I was really hoping they play with the fact that Stede is "dead". The guy doesnt even mention the Master Fuckery from ep10.

-On that note, I was a little dissapointed on Jim's arc. I was never that invested on them or their plot in s1, but it feels weird how this season it seems like none of that even happened. Even Jim felt like a different character. I feel it would worked better if some of the conflict was related to Siete Gallos stuff, so at least it would feel all of that subplot wasnt a waste of time.

-Little missing opportunities of making me happy: Anne Bonny and Mary Read mentioning Jack (to insult him, mostly); they kissing when the house is on fire; Ed finding not just one letter but the whole pile of them; a better narrative use for Seagull Buttons (well, any narrative use, really); developing the bombclocks thing in a way where Auntie was not deprived of her superhuman detective skills; having Ned Low as bigger villain, with several appearances.

-The general development of Ed/Stede in the final episode... It's just confusing to me. My reading of Stede's mind state was that he was on autopilot since he killed Ned Low, and being abandoned by Ed and having his ass kicked by Zheng would wake him up a little, but this episode he's still in PROBLEM SOLVER mode, zero regrets about anything, still hasn't talked anything through EVER, he's just fine. With Ed I dont even ask for coherence bc he's always been a wtf guy, but I dont understand the "just do whatever you're good at" thing in the beginning of the episode, and he claiming back his leathers and his pirate-self and going on berserker mode and fighting along Stede as equals and blablabla if at the end he's still chosing to be a fucking innkeeper. Also, having a shitty inn in the middle of nowhere sounds too close to the antique shop in ep4, didn't they learn ANYTHING from Mary and Anne? I mean, the innkeeping was a predictible outcome, but the setting up of the episode was really aiming to the opposite, so it feels weird to me. In any case, I'm happy they're together and if being absolutely on their own in the loneliest house in the world doesn't get them to improve their communication, idk what else they could do.

-Still think they should have been lighthouse keepers instead.

-Next season Im totally muting every OFMD tag as soon as they announce the trailer release, because the promo and bts content was absolutely TOO MUCH. Those fuckers had been showing us stuff from the very climax of the fucking last episode since weeks before the season aired. I get it's a me problem, but I do believe it ruined my experience a lot, so fuck that.

And well. That's it. Good season, could have been great. Im happy but sad. Let's just hope that, if there's a season 3, they gave them more money and time to do it properly.

And before I post this and run away from tumblr, Im checking out how much of my wishlist had been fulfilled: - LUCIUS IS ALIVE - Stede Bonnet, berserker era [Not as I imagined, but hey] - The Queen Anne’s Revenge, either being captured or coming back as the ship Ed left behind when he went to The Revenge - The Blockade of Charleston (and make really absurd) [Still might happen in the future?] - Anne Bonny and Mary Read(as middle aged women who kinda mirror Ed and Stede, but they did it right) - Since he was already mentioned in s1, it would make sense introducing Hornigold, maybe as a new antagonist or something. - A rip off of that wwdits episode with the Vampire Council, except this time is the Pirate Council and its members are pirates from other movies and shows [I was really dreaming big here] - On that note, a really weird episode with every person who has played Blackbeard in recent years [Fully tripping] - More women and more asian characters. And more people speaking their mother tongues [So many Chinese gals, not one chinese word :(] - Ed finding out about Stede’s death and believing it [It did happened but not how/when we thought] - Ed meeting Mary and getting along [Never losing hope on this one] - Frenchie adopting a cat (and singing a song about it). - More info about everyone’s pasts. - I would LOVE having Bartholomew Roberts in the show. [YES PLEASE]

ugh nat i need help. i totally cant get over swiftwyn, like ever since they broke up I’ve been more heartbroken ab it than I think they themselves are lol. Idk I think it’s just that they were such a perf couple and they seemed like such soulmates. like all the music she wrote for and with him, the way they looked so good together, and just the fact that they seemed so emotionally connected on so many levels. like they’re still my couple goals if I’m being honest lmao. idk I just can’t get myself to be happy over TK bc I’m missing swiftwyn. Like it’s literally just so sad. their relationship is literally my Roman Empire lmfao

honestly i think i need to separate myself from tay but like i love her music too much and it doesn’t help that i know the lore behind all of her songs. they were just the dream couple and i soooo wish they were still together

not to be one of those “love isn’t real” bitches but like that’s how I’ve gen been feeling for the past 6 months

idk i think it’s all the fact that I don’t know these people and will never receive closure because I’ll never know what happened. but idk it just hurts me on such a deep level for some reason lmao

pls help, even if you can provide any advice or closure would be appreciated like i feel crazy and don’t know what to do lmao

Okay SO I think you've analysed it very correctly - you're mourning something that existed in your head and it's difficult to get closure on something that's not yk real. For Taylor and Joe, breaking up was the result of falling out of love (which is normal but sad). For you, you're having to break up with Swiftwyn without ever falling out of love with them because, as you rightfully point out, you don't know them and weren't involved. You loved the concept (that's all other people's relationships can ever be if we're not somehow caught up in the middle of it). You don't have to stop loving the concept. It's not that different from idk The Doctor and Rose together or Meredith and McDreamy or idk that gay Supernatural ship.

So my advice is take a deep breath and allow yourself to still like them as a ship from when they're together. Them being broken up in 2023 doesn't mean you can't imagine 2016 them when Delicate comes on (if that's what pops into your head), same as you can picture Jake and Taylor when ATW plays and same as you can rewatch episodes of your favourite ships even when the couple later breaks up or idk the show ends.

Because we're operating with the concept, not with real life.

Now here's where it gets tricky though. We are liking concepts but dealing with real people - that's where liking celeb couples gets weird. So while it's perfectly okay to listen to Delicate and imagine the dive bar or look at the potato quality pap shots of them or whatever, what's not okay is harassing them or the recurrent "DAD COME BACK" jokes (which mostly stopped now that TK is around, which goes back to how this is concept not real life). Because like... they're real people who just got over each other and that's sad and I can't imagine dealing with my own issues and having strangers "mourning" it for me or telling me who I should date next. People are mad weird.

As for "love isn't real" - well, Hollywood love isn't really. The Notebook doesn't happen irl. I mean read this interview from Goldie about Kurt. Kurt and Goldie broke up/took separations in both 2000 and 2004. Then they realised that even though they pissed each other the fuck off, they're better off staying together, and here they still are now. One day, maybe they'll take another separation and stay apart after that. Who knows!?!?! NOT THEM. So certainly not us. Love is incredible and magical but it's also going to have ups and downs and require work and compromise and if the bad starts outweighing the good then it's time to find something else.

Just a Neo self-reporting her random thoughts for the day. This is mostly here for me to maybe revisit and think about again. [just ignore it, actually lol It's just me rambling a lot]

I like to think of all sorts of random ideas for fun, even if I know that I'll never write it out. It's a fun activity I do in order to job creative inspiration and to challenge my perception of my own muse.

We know that canonically there are different parallel universes than things can be vastly different because of one small difference (like trying to help someone with a jammed bike chain) and it had me like Haru going to school at an earlier time so that she never saw Tsuna and Reborn in the mornings. She's just your average (but still chaotic, don't get it twisted) school girl.

If we didn't know, my Haru muse is really strong, to the point that she likes to intrude my thoughts often in the form of random suggestive thoughts popping into my brain-- I really did try to consider what her life could've been like if she wasn't involved with the Vongola. Like how would it have affected her studies? Would it have affected her daily activities?

She always studies hard, but now she probably has more time to focus on her studies. For sure, she'd continue to make costumes for fun and do gymnastics. She probably has more time to have more tutoring classes. Maybe this time she's less proficient in cooking, but she is still learning to put less burden on her working mother.

What new things can she do instead that would occupy her time? Maybe all the time she spent with the Vongola crew would have gone into the creative side of hers so she'd have made more costumes so that her friend in the drama club actively tries to recruit her. Maybe she joins to help with the backstage crew (ie creating props, costuming, etc).

Hekk, it's very possible that she had decided on cram school or something to help with her studies and make new friends there. Maybe meet someone else that she could like. Have a shot at a regular and happy life fit for an average girl.

So many thoughts. THEN the sudden thoughts of 'okay but is there a different way she would've gotten involved?' That had my brain BUZZING.

That's when she hit me with different ideas like, she cross paths with a jogging Ryohei every morning and so they start off with just saying good morning but maybe one day she decides to join him at least once to see what it's like to job early in the morning. Maybe it's better than doing so at night? Maybe early morning exercise will help improve her studies-- or help wake her up (she's not a morning person). That's how she meets Kyoko and they become fast friends.

That's how you then meet the others- and boom, involved.

Then she probably hit me with the 'don't forget that Haru likes to read/study on a park bench while listening to music. It's not an uncommon sight to see Yamamoto jogging, or doing practice swings. Haru likes to see someone who is driven, motivated, and in general dedicated to something they're passionate about. She would've noticed him. Never forget that time when he injures his arm and that definitely would spark curiosity as well as her general 'I tend to worry about everyone' gene. Yamamoto being a friendly guy in general would probably warm up to her quickly and boom, friends. Then you meet the others and wow. Mafia involvement.

There is another way in the realm of, if she was more focused on her studies, perhaps she's out studying at a library or at a friends house and something that I can see being a thing is to drop by a conbini store because they are as they are called: convenient. Like, photocopiers are really convenient for students. You can buy stationary items, maybe get a late snack, send mail, etc. I've been to a few myself a few years back and they really are so convenient. ANYWAYS, I do see it that she could visit one later in the day and we do know of someone who works part-time.

The thought that at first she was scared to go in bc... hoodlum, but then realizes he's still there like a week later. 'He can't be that bad if he's still working? The store owner wouldn't keep a bad person around.' She's an academic soul, so it's the old saying "Curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back." Just her trying to learn more about him on the sly out of curiosity, and realizing that even though he seems like a hooligan, he's actually quite a decent guy. Not Haru randomly trying to strike conversation because she thinks he's fascinating. I can see her just dropping by sometimes to make sure he's still working and doing alright.

Something that I remembered from anime and then looked into today is that you cannot pay anyone a wage if they're under 16 in Japan. It's a part of their child labor laws. I can only assume that due to him not having family (ignore Bianchi) in Japan, he gets a pass or something? If not that, he lied about his age. Whichever the case may be, she'd think that there had to be some kind of extenuating circumstances for him. Her being worried and leaving something like a drink or a small bento for him. Lil notes like 'Ganba!' It's very Haru brand for her to care for people and want to support them. (My GokuHaru bias is showing, can you tell?)

Something something, I bet she gets involved with the mafia.

The easiest one? Lambo probably got lost or hurt himself and 'i'm your new onee-san' Haru comes in to help him. Where does he live? With Tsuna and them. What would Haru do? Be worried about Lambo and resolve to visit more often. Like, she found Lambo on his own, crying. SHE CAN'T TRUST THEM TO LOOK AFTER LAMBO- and don't forget how there are OTHER children too. Big sis Haru could never just leave them be.

Mafia affiliations a gogo.

I bet my Haru brain could've thought of more, but then at that point I had to go into a meeting so I shut off daydream brain.

It's funny to me how quickly Haru hijacked my thoughts and made me consider alternative ways for her to have gotten involved with the Vongola. She really told me 'how dare you try to take me away from my friends? Don't you know me? I'll find a way to befriend them all anyways. Watch me.'

She keeps hitting me with a new idea any time I try to think of regular civilian Haru. She's very unhappy with me and so I had no muse today.

TLDR

Haru told me: I'm every bit part of the Vongola so stop trying to take me out of it, i'll find a way to squeeze back in there. Bet.

Yes, lil ma'am.

Tell me about your ghost ambulance characters: what kind of music do they like to listen to? Is there any particular music you like to listen to that reminds you of those characters? And is it different than what their personal choices would be?

Omg thank u for the ask, i was Literally just thinking abt oc music lmao

The one most into music is Elaine, who is Mega Emo and spends hours on soundcloud, bandcamp, and discogs, looking for indie metal/emo bands to add to her giant hipster library. She's especially into concept bands and albums, the more fantasical and convoluted the better. Through that, she crosses over into cheesy songs-about-dragons power metal. She's a bit insufferable about it too, she doesn't admit she enjoys mcr bc she thinks they're "too mainstream", she's literally like a 14 yr old metalhead lmao

Cutter isn't fussed about genres and has a few playlists for different vibes, like a chill/focusing one with lowfi and video game OSTs, or one for running filled with fast-paced rock and other hype songs.

Joy likes top 40 pop and some EDM which she mostly listens to in clubs. Plus Loads of 90s nostalgia and a bit of Desi folk music - the latter is where her background as a singer is.

As for the songs i listen to while i rotate them in my brain, it all Varies Wildly lol, im currently putting together some playlists for each of them 👀 There's no regards for genre or accuracy there, just pure vibes and loose scraps of lyrics that sort of kind of fit lmao. Some recent ones are:

For Elaine Infinite by Natewantstobattle, because it's just so supremely edgy and exactly the thing she would want playing in the background of the badass yet emotionally destructive scenes im imagining for her.

For Cutter Still Counting by Volbeat, cause i remembered it out of the blue recently and immediately went "oh yeah, that fits him perfectly". This is one of the "meanigful lyrics" type ones and opens with one of my all-time favourite lines in general lmao

For Joy Dead End in Tokyo by Man With A Mission, cause. it just vibes yknow. It has glamour to it and lots of hype but also brings to mind a certain wariness and like. yeah that's Joy.

And for all three of them and their paranormal shenanigans, Hollywood by After Midnight Project which has lyrics that mostly don't fit but also some lines that fit So Well that i've been imagining a whole cinematic trailer to it for like the past month dhdhskdhd if i could only make animatics

#these were super fun to answer thank u anon #ocposting #ask game #off to Imagine My Blorbos To Music again

Some favorite head canons about team red?

You know, headcanons are always tricky for me to sort out, because I think I'm one of those people who, even when making fanart or fanfiction, likes to take all the canon information I can, and then sort of extrapolate ideas or logical outcomes from there. So I don't spend a lot of time thinking, "omg super-dude's favorite pizza topping is mushrooms bc I knew a dude in high school that looked just like him and he loved mushrooms on his pizza", if that makes sense.

Not that that means I don't have original ideas about characters (at least I hope I do) but they're probably kind of mundane. So let's see.

As far as I know, in the comics, the only time the three of these dudes actually teamed up was in "Deadpool: Suicide Kings", and that comic has a lot of... how do I put this gently... "90's Deadpool Vibes". On top of that, it's kind of a wonky partnership (Spidey and DP were not pals yet, and DD is just there to make sure an innocent person isn't held accountable for something he didn't do.)

So I guess my main headcanon is that these three get of to a rocky start in their relationship as a team, and it's slow going to build that up into something functional. To that end, I think it's really Spider-Man (who is someone DD trusts implicitly and Deadpool admires) that is the glue of the team. I think after he learns Deadpool can actually be an asset to a team, he's the one that would suggest all three of them work together. (And hey, unlike Punisher, Deadpool has proven that he's willing to use non-lethal force to take down even the worst bad guys, so I think Daredevil would appreciate that.)

Now let me see... for something fun... I think that if the three of them were on a stakeout or something, they might end up passing the time showing off to one another. Sure, all three of them are formidable opponents in a fight, but they all also have weird quirky abilities the others don't, and I think it would be fun for them to play around showing what their capabilities are. (Imagine Deadpool throwing various flotsam at Spidey and DD to see who does a better job of dodging. Hell, it might even be fun to imagine them playing wall ball on a rooftop and seeing how crazy the throws and maneuvers got.)

I think on top of that, they might all bond over something like music. DP is a pop culture maniac, Spidey has been shown more than once belting out pop songs, and DD would probably find the whole thing funny (and comment every time they got off key). IDK Matt (in most incarnations) is a bit of a show-off so he'd probably enjoy these kinds of slow moments on a night's patrol.

I hope that satisfies. It's the kind of thing I had to stare into space and think about for a bit. I'd love to hear your HC's!

#team red #daredevil #spider-man #deadpool #thanks for the ask
